The Alpha Female

Chapter 17

"I love you, Jake."

Jacob couldn't help but stare in shock at the brunette. Was…was she for real? Was she really professing her love to him? Or was this another cruel moment in his life involving her and his feelings? He wanted so badly to believe that her confession was genuine and that she loved him like how he loved her. In a soft voice he couldn't help but ask, "Really?"

Bella frowned at hearing the uncertainty in his voice, though she couldn't blame him for it. As many times as he would confess his love to her, she had always rebuffed him because she had been with Edward at the time. Now that was no longer the case and she was completely and utterly positive about what she was feeling now. Taking his face into her hands she brought his lips back to hers and kissed him once again. Pulling away she said with such determination in her eyes, "Yes, really. I'm in love with you, Jacob Black. I have been for the longest time and I'm sorry it took me so long to acknowledge it. But if you'll still have me, I want to be with you the way we were meant to be."

There was a moment of silence that passed between them as they stared into each other's eyes. A moment later Jacob was pressing his lips against Bella's passionately, pushing her onto her back on the couch. The sudden movement had surprised the brunette, but she welcomed it nonetheless. She returned Jacob's fervent kisses with as much enthusiasm and ran her fingers through his short hair, her skin feeling on fire through her clothes from where Jacob was running his hands up and down her body. A gasp left her throat as his lips left hers and moved down to her neck, her gasps turning into moans of pleasure as he latched onto her neck and sucked on it.

Her entire body was tingling in pleasure and she could feel her core beginning to throb in need. Jacob was affecting her so much and she wondered if she was having the same affect on him that he was having on her. She got her answer when Jacob ground against her, his hard length pressing against her center through the confines of their pants. Wanting to feel his hot skin under her fingertips, Bella reached down and grabbed the hem of Jacob's shirt, practically yanking it up over his head and off of him before throwing it onto the living room floor. Just the sight of those exposed muscles caused the lust Bella was feeling to spike, the emotion evident in her chocolate brown eyes that had darkened considerably. Looking up into Jacob's eyes, she was surprised to see his warm brown eyes were practically black in his lust and excitement, both of which were directed towards her.

Jacob let out a small growl and kissed her once more before standing up off of Bella. He was pleased to see the mark he had made on her neck, but his dick also throbbed upon seeing her exposed cleavage from the tank top she was wearing. Reaching down he picked the brunette up and quickly carried her down the hallway to his room, kicking the bedroom door shut behind him. Laying her down on his bed, he climbed on top of her and kissed her sweetly and lovingly, this kiss unlike the passionate lust filled ones they had exchanged earlier.

"Are you sure about this, Bells?" Jacob asked when he pulled away from the kiss. He felt a bit stupid asking her this considering he was the one that brought her to his room. However her actions in the living room had to mean she wanted him like he wanted her, right?

Bella smiled up at Jacob nodded before sitting up and removing her tank top, giving Jacob a clear view of her bra-clad breasts. She giggled softly at how his eyes focused on her pert bosom before cupping his face and kissing him once again, falling back and pulling him on top of her once more.

Carlisle stood silently as he stared at Edward, along with the rest of the family. The disappointment in his eyes was evident and Edward was doing everything he could to not look at him, though he knew exactly what he thought because of being able to hear them. His sire was disappointment in him for what he had gone and done, as was Esme. Alice was standing off with Jasper looking awfully distressed, as she had been looking into Bella's future and she couldn't see it anymore. She had been holding onto the hope that Bella would see sense and return to Edward, but it was now obviously apparent that she had chosen Jacob Black, as if her display from earlier hadn't been enough. Jasper wanted to comfort Alice's emotions as well as ease the tense atmosphere, but he figured there was really no point. Rosalie and Emmett hadn't said a word since and instead were waiting to see how things were going to play out now.

After a while Carlisle took an unnecessary breath and said, "Edward, I thought I told you not to do anything reckless."

"I didn't, I just simply reminded Bella of the deal she made," Edward replied.

"And yet you did so while Jacob was with her, and from my understanding and Bella's reaction, you did it with him there purposely and out of spite."

"It wasn't spite."

"That is besides the point. Edward, Bella isn't a normal human anymore and this deal she made with the Volturi about becoming a vampire in the future is no longer valid. I don't think you understand that or the severity of what will happen should we try to turn her into one of us."

"She'll be with us again. She'll be with me again! Just like she wants!"

Rosalie shook her head and said, "No, like how she used to want. She doesn't want this life anymore, and you can't make her come back to you. You crossed a line with her and she'll never forgive you for it. I'd say it's pretty obvious now that she's in love with Jacob Black."

Edward looked almost crazed at the blonde vampire's words. "No, she doesn't. She loves me and still loves me. I just have to make her see that again. That Quileute curse they have on her is messing with her mind and that's why it's affecting her the way it. She wouldn't even be the so-called Alpha Female if they hadn't placed that curse on her."

Esme gave Edward a sad and almost pitying look as she said, "Edward honey, it's not a curse. Bella was chosen to be the Alpha Female and she has already taken to the role."

"Not to mention that she is now the true Alpha of the Pack's soulmate," Carlisle inputted.

"No," Edward said.

"Yes Edward. Bella is Jacob Black's soulmate, and nothing is going to change that."

"NO!" Edward roared and flew up from where he was sitting, pushing against Carlisle and slamming him into the opposite wall, practically knocking him through it. Esme and Alice gave alarmed shouts as Jasper and Emmett quickly moved to grab their brother, trying to pull him off their coven leader. Carlisle hadn't really been surprised that Edward attacked him, but his golden eyes did widen when he realized that his son was trying to rip his head from his shoulders. He himself began to push back against Edward, trying to gain the upper hand along with the help of Emmett and Jasper.

Rosalie scowled at what was happening and moved over to where the men were, moving her mate out of the way so she could take his place. Taking the opportunity, she pulled her fist back and quickly brought it forward, punching Edward in the side of his head. The sudden action was enough to catch Edward off guard and loosen his hold on Carlisle, allowing Jasper to quickly pin him to the floor and keep him there despite his struggles. Rosalie walked over to stand in front of Edward and bent down in front of him, grabbing his hair and forcing him to look at her.

In a hard voice she said, "Edward, you are a one-hundred-year-old vampire; act like it. Bella doesn't want you anymore; get over it. And technically, she can't be with you anymore. Her being this Alpha Female is no curse, and her being with Jacob is destined. There is nothing you can do to change that. Now stop acting like a spoiled brat and leave her be. I've told you this before, you shouldn't have brought her into our world, but you didn't listen, all the while knowing it would be detrimental to us. Now she wants to leave, and you won't let her. Be a grown up for once in your life and realize that you can't always get what you want."

Edward snarled at Rosalie and tried to snap his teeth at her in response, only for her to slap him across the face, the impact heard loudly in the house and causing the animals outside to scramble away. He watched her stand back up and walk away to stand by Emmett, her expression unreadable and her mind closed off to him. Even Jasper's thoughts were closed off, though everyone else's were open to him and he could see instantly that they agreed with Rosalie. Even Alice agreed, though her thoughts had a bit of reluctance about the situation. Realizing that his family were not going to stand with him, he struggled once again to be released from Jasper's hold and eventually got away. He quickly moved to the front door and looked back at the six vampires watching him.

"Fine, if you won't help me get Bella back, then I'll have to do it myself," Edward said in a low voice. "And Jacob Black will pay for taking her away from me." And with that, he was gone.

Jasper looked at his mate and said, "Alice."

Alice nodded and closed her eyes to focus on the future, Edward's particularly to see what he would do. However, she couldn't see anything at the moment, meaning Edward hadn't decided anything yet, but that didn't mean he wouldn't later. Opening her eyes, she shook her head and said, "Not yet."

Esme, who had been checking Carlisle over, looked up at him and asked, "What should we do?"

Carlisle looked at his mate before looking at the rest of his coven. He was silent for a moment before finally saying, "I don't know. Regardless, I think it best that we move away from here, for good this time."

"What about Bella?" Emmett asked. "We can't take her with us, but the Volturi are expecting her to be changed soon. They'll be wondering why she hasn't been and why she's not with us."

"Well, we can't let them know why she hasn't been without exposing the Pack. Marcus hates werewolves and he'll probably see them as such," Rosalie said.

"Let me figure something out. For the time being, let's begin packing the house and be prepared to leave by the end of the week. I'll put in my notice tomorrow and work to have it approved immediately," Carlisle said.

Esme nodded before asking, "Where will we go?"

"Denali for the time being, then we'll head to New Zealand. I know a friend there that has welcomed us to stay should we relocate there."

Everyone nodded and moved to their rooms, beginning to pack their things while Carlisle moved to his office, closing the door behind him. Getting onto his computer so he could email his friend to let him know of their upcoming arrival, he rested his head in his hand wearily. This was a situation that he wasn't sure what to really do. Edward had caused them trouble the moment he set his eyes on Bella Swan. He had tried to be supportive despite his reservations because of Edward's love for Bella and her love for him, but now he wished he had stood firm and spoke against it like Rosalie had. Edward had been so happy, and he wanted that to continue. But now they were in a hole that they couldn't get out of, and Bella had moved on. However, they couldn't in concerns with the Volturi, and the Volturi surely wouldn't until Bella was a vampire, an impossibility now. Now Edward had run off and had declared revenge on Jacob while it being obvious he was planning on taking Bella back. He already knew this was going to end in disaster. He had a feeling sacrifices would have to be made, and if he had to make that sacrifice for everyone to be safe, he would.

Bella moaned and cried out as Jacob thrusted into her, her body shaking in pleasure from the conjoining of their bodies. It was pure bliss and she couldn't get enough. Jacob' sped up his pace and she held onto him tightly, her nails raking down his back and clawing him. She had been afraid she was hurting him when she had first done it, but Jacob seemed to love it. Before long they both came in pure ecstasy, holding each other as they rode out their orgasms.

They panted heavily as their high began to die down, Jacob pulling out of Bella and lying down on top of her, his head on her chest. Bella smiled and ran her fingers through Jacob's sweat soaked hair as she thought of what had just occurred between them. What she and Jacob had just shared was beyond words and it was the best thing she had ever felt with him. It was like how she felt with him usually had been amplified tenfold. And she knew that Jacob could feel it, too.

Lifting his head Jacob smiled and whispered, "I love you."

"I love you, too," Bella replied just as softly, bending her head to kiss his forehead before they both settled down again, sleep quickly creeping up on them. It wasn't long after did they both fall asleep in each other's arms.

In the main part of the Black house, the phone rang. It continued to ring before stopping. It rang again, but still went unanswered by the current occupants of the house. When it stopped ringing finally, it stayed silent, quieting the house once again. However, the silence was briefly broken by a beep, alerting to a left voicemail on the answering machine.
